High blood pressure

Asked for Male, 48 years

I used to be a chain smoker for 10+ years till I suffered from bronchitis, four years ago. Since it got cured, I smoked cigarettes for two years, decreasing the amount of cigarettes and gradually stopped smoking. Recently, I have high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and I have shortness of breath. I started running 2 km daily. Why am I having all these symptoms?

Dear Patient,

There could be many reasons for your current symptoms including poor fitness of your heart or lungs. Its normal in our country to experience these symptoms by ur age due to poor lifestyle n diet choices and often due to genetic background
Heres what you can do
- start with a slow warmup walk of 20mins before run and end with the same
-eat healthy fruits & veggies & have lots of water
- try detox drinks made at home
- go in for routine cardio & respiratory checkup if your symptoms persist
- reduce salt and oil/fat intake in foods.
